WFO or I don't go
It’s a buddy’s he got It from his dad. Every thing is there just dirty. I think it got strait gassed. Is it worth rebuilding? And how expensive is a new piston and possibly a jug?
Seized HOMELITE super XL auto ?

At 119 bucks it’s the price of a saw almost. I’d like to find a used one if I can.

Answered a lot of my own questions. Sometimes I’m a dumbass!
Might try the for sale trade section of this site. Flea bay has lots of used stuff.

It happens X-12 and Super XL saws - There are three screws under the flywheel. Sometimes one screw may get loose, back out and
locks up the saw. I have had a lot of joking with my customers. I told them I would check but probably cost a lot. They agrre that they want it fixed, so I quote a big price and they agree to have it fixed. When I pull off the flywheel and they see how easy it is they start muttering that the price was too high. Sometimes I even did it free for good customers.You should check under the flywheel to be sure all three screws are tight. - chainsawlady

Let us know if it's the items under the flywheel that has it cog locked?????
They are great torquey midsize saws with the one glaring drawback of no antivibe. But that’s not a big deal if you are only running one occasionally.
I can point you to a few Homelite sites that should allow you to find a P and C for 35 bucks or less.

I'm looking for homelite xl12 parts I need a reed valve I'm not sure if its the single reed or quad reed design. I think it would be the single. Also need other parts.
Definitely look for bolts that backed out before spending money.
Yeah, make sure it actually needs a piston/cylinder first. I had one that was sold to me because it locked up and it turned out to be a screw that holds the ignition coil on. These old saws hardly ever seize up because of how much oil is in the fuel mix....
